SHIKWARU LODGE WHO WE ARE

Shikwaru’s story began more than a decade ago when founders Jacques and Lizzy van Bommel had the vision to develop a sanctuary for families and children from all around the world. This vision included a wildlife conservation program and affordable lodging that would fund the ministry of Reaching a Generation taking place in Africa. Shikwaru Holdings developed into a feasible business venture and now includes Shikwaru Lodge, Shikwaru Estate, and Shikwaru Bow Shop! By choosing Shikwaru you are not only choosing quality service and experience – You are supporting a wide range of ministry and relief efforts taking place across Southern Africa.
